Been a Gorillaz fan for ages, remember hearing MF DOOM on Demon Days when I was like 13 and really liking his voice. When I was getting on here and checking out Flying Lotus and similar artists, Madlib was recommended.. so I checked this out seems though it featured both and it's really really really good.

After reading everyone blabbing about how these guys influenced ATDI and shit I thought i'd check em. Didn't dig Red Medicine or Repeater that much (although I probably will in the future) I thought this album was cool.

Took me a while to get into this, I got all 3 of his LPs at once and thought LA and this sucked compared to 1983, but after putting this on my iPod and listening on a long journey it finally clicked and now I can't get enough of the textures and sounds.

Same thing when looking into more and more alt-hiphop on here. This name was mentioned but I was busy enjoying MF. Eventually I got round to it and it's a chill album, lots of great old-skool sounds and shit.

I used to think that only bands like Foals and Editors could do 'Indie' in my stupid days, but after realising the true meaning of the genre (along with screamo) from this site, these guys stood out. I listened to their popular 2 albums at first but i'm really digging this one more atm.

I saw someones list a couple of months ago, they listed this as their favourite of all time. Being a fan of GY!BE and Mogwai I thought i'd check it. Listened to it during a Science lesson at school, what a trip.

Tend to listen to this when walking home from partys in the early hours (not that this happens much) but it's really creepy and any fan of post-rock should dig it. For some reason the track Don, Aman reminds me of Donnie Darko.

Took me a while to like it, at first I was like "VOCALS EWWW" but I started listening to the lyrics and passion in his voice. It's a real good album, just the vocals make it hard to rec it to my friends haha.

Got into these guys before Sputnik when my Polish friend showed me these and GY!BE. Started on Come On Die Young but the same situation as with The Mars Volta happened really. Everyone said the first was better and it turned out it was. Also saw these on their Hardcore Will Never Die tour a few months back. so loud and awesome.

Everyone knows OutKast, but only really for Roses and Hey Ya! (if you don't do your research). When I got on Sputnik this and Aquemini were rated higher than Speakerboxxx/The Love Below so I got em both and they are fucking great.

Always knew about these guys from just knowing music, I think most people do. After seeing a lot of them on here decided to listen to this album and Daydream Nation (which hasn't clicked as much as this yet, but I dig them both)

One of the first things I checked when I started using this site, because they were referred to one of the first Post-Rock bands. Great album, TNT is good too, usually listen to them as background music when i'm reading or something... but it sure is great background music.

Most people will say Blackwater Park, cause that's their "definitive" album. Personally, Morningrise is my favourite, but it's shit heavy and hard to get into. So go with Ghost Reveries, Blackwater Park or Still Life, in my opinion. Probably in that order.

By the way man, drone is awesome. I've been digging that genre a lot lately.

Check out Earth's stuff. Earth 2 is a classic, and Earth's most recent release "Bees Made Honey In the Lion's Skull." Is incredible, a little more dynamic though.

Also, check out Bull of Heaven, the guys have a crazy amount of songs, one of which is 5.7 years long. But man, they make some pretty good music (amongst other experimental types, such as just clicking noise...)
